1 И сниде Сампсон во Фамнафу и виде жену во Фамнафе от дщерей Филистимских, и угодна бысть пред ним.
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
2 И взыде и поведа отцу своему и матери своей, и рече: жену видех во Фамнафе от дщерей Филистимских, и ныне поимите ю мне в жену.
He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as wife."
3 И рече ему отец его и мати его: еда несть дщерей от братии твоея и от всех людий моих жены, яко ты идеши пояти жену от дщерей иноплеменников необрезанных? И рече Сампсон ко отцу своему: сию поими мне, яко та угодна есть пред очима моима.
Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes."
4 Отец же его и мати его не разумеша, яко сие от Господа есть, яко отмщения он ищет от Филистимлян: в то бо время владяху Филистимляне сыны Израилевыми.
But his father and his mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5 И сниде Сампсон и отец его и мати его во Фамнафу, и приидоша до винограда Фамнафа: и се, львичищь рыкающь во сретение ему.
Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against him.
6 И сниде на него Дух Господень, и растерза его яко козлища от коз, и ничтоже бяше в руку его: и не поведа отцу своему и матери своей, еже сотвори.
And the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 И поидоша и рекоша жене, и угодна бысть пред очима Сампсона.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
8 И возвратися по днех пояти ю, и обратися видети труп львов, и се, рой пчел во устех львовых и мед:
After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 и изя его от уст его в руце свои, и идяше идый и ядый: и пойде ко отцу своему и матери своей, и даде им, и ядоша: и не поведа им, яко от уст львовых изя сей мед.
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
10 И сниде отец его к жене, и сотвори Сампсон тамо пир седмь дний, яко тако творят юношы:
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
11 и бысть внегда боятися им его, приставиша к нему тридесять другов, и быша с ним:
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 и рече им Сампсон: предлагаю ныне вам гадание, и аще отгадающе поведите мне сие в седмь дний пира и обрящете, дам вам тридесять поняв и тридесять риз одежд:
Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
13 аще же не возможете сие поведати мне, дадите вы мне тридесять поняв и тридесять риз изменных. И рекоша ему: предложи гадание твое, и услышим е.
But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to hear it."
14 И глагола им: от ядущаго ядомое изыде, и от крепкаго изыде сладкое. И не могоша поведати гадания до трех дний.
He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
15 И бысть в день четвертый, и рекоша жене Сампсонове: прельсти мужа своего, и да повесть тебе гадание, да не сожжем тя и дом отца твоего огнем: или оубожити призвасте ны?
And it happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
16 И плакася жена Сампсонова пред ним и рече: разве возненавидел еси мене и не возлюбил еси мене, яко гадания, еже еси предложил сыном людий моих, не поведал еси его мне. И рече ей Сампсон: се, отцу моему и матери моей не поведах сего, и тебе ли повем?
Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?"
17 И плакася пред ним седмь дний, в няже бе им пир. И бысть в день седмый, и поведа ей, яко стужи ему: и та поведа сыном людий своих.
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 И рекоша ему мужие градстии в день седмый прежде зашествия солнца: что слаждше меда? И что креплее льва? И рече им Сампсон: аще не бысте орали юницею моею, не бысте уведали гадания моего.
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
19 И нападе на него Дух Господень, и сниде во Аскалон, и изби тамо тридесять мужей, и взя ризы их, и даде ризы поведавшым гадание. И разгневася яростию Сампсон, и взыде в дом отца своего.
The Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 Жена же Сампсонова иде за инаго мужа, иже бысть един от другов его.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
